the Commercial Club Bhortly after noon today and thoro wero many
i present who sat up and took notice as the Chief Executive spoko from
i' the shoulder and with a Roosevelt tans about the crcat question ot
what shall ho done to glvo to Hawaii a population, not of floating
allono working a while on the sugar plantations and then moving on,
but of bona fldo settlers, lovers ot the land, workers for the coinmun-
Ily, citizens, Americans. Governor Frear declared that tho question
confronted tho government and tho plantations and could not be beg-
god. Speedy action will bo forced for a solution ot tho labor pro-
blcm. Tho day may como when plantations will ho snl.t up In small
holdings.

Governor Frear was the guest of tho
Commercial Club at lunch today and
gave an Interesting address on labor,
lands and otner matters.
Tho Governor stated that ho had
contracted to spealc only on tho un
derstanding that his remarks would be
on a very oid though most Important
subject, no other than tho question ot
having our population made up ot
small landed proprietors or a floating
allon population. Ho would not go
Into tho solutions of the problem or
the many things which might be said
for tho attractiveness of tho Islands,
ho might contemplate the forces ot
men the building of a naval station
and fortifications hero would bilng;
ho might discuss Hawaii as tho center
of tho Pacific, as she will bo with
tho Panama canal open, with the west
ern states pouring tourists here, and
sending fortunes to build up Honolulu
but these wcro not things he wished
now to. speak of.
"It wasn't so long ago tho sugar
trust ,sald we'd never produce over
15J.O0O tons per year 01 sugar, but wo
aro doing three tlmc3 that much. As
with sugar so with pineapples, sisal
and others,
The wisest Is a fool on
prediction. Wo are greater and moro
prosperous now than we ever thougnt
wo'd bo. .Lumber was not thought to
be anything in Hawaii, but late de
velopments are showing otherwise."
In regard to looking at our main In
dustry, sugar, ho was not prepared to
say but that tho sugar industry would
como to a speedy necessity of se
riously considering radical changes 111
tho population and labor ssheme.
What if it is truo that no more
ipaneso aro coming to Hawaii? Ho
hoped tho report was not true that
they will bo stopped. But Japanese,
as it is, aro going Into business for
themselves all the time, leaving tho
plantations. Plantations are now giv
ing land and houses to tie down their
THERE'S NO
about tho necessity ot in
surance now-a-days. It cost ho
little to make the welfare of
your family a certainty, ana tho
benefit Is such a big help to
them when it comes.
Tho only things to consider aro
what company you shall Insure
in, and for what amount.
Naturally, both these questions
iro Important one. Wo under

of his life in the dining hall of !
labor. In some cases tho government
is also helping. So many can make
a better living on their own little
land. A plantation must emnlov a
floating class of labor; but If It has
settled laborers near by, on their
own lands, they can employ them
when they want to and do not have to
tgIvo them constant employment. An
mionor class in point of health is the
floating class. Those who are encour
aged with pieces of land and oppor
tunities to grow something themselves
and make homes for themselves are
better laborers and more willing.
'Difllci'itles tho greatest is the
amount of capital required by a small
farmer to start. He has to pay high
for tho land; it takes years for crops.
Elsewhere banks assist the small
farmer; a regular part of the banking
business to carry the small farmer.
"Our sugar industries should have
this in mino; they may be forced to
consider It sooner or later.
"There's going to be a lot of caplntal
hero and It may he that It will large
ly be devoted to carrying small farm
ers. "Another difficulty the limited
and making sure that settlers are bona
tide. Conditions will later probably
require tho cutting up of plantations
and ranches.
"The difficulty will be with tho would-
tio small proprietor. Tho sugar peo

bound to come that It le a settled nol.
Icy and they are becoming reconciled
to It. There will be not so much du
flculty with the planters as with the
small proprietors In mating tno
changes.
"Wo have various forms of acquir

often purchasers aro employes of plan
tations. If land conditions aro not
fulfilled tho land Is sold, but sometimes

ed. Lopez and Roderlgues wore down-
town on Sunday evening last and took
supper at a restaurant, afterwards
picking their teeth and talking with a
Hnwnlian police olllcor on a street cor
ner near tho restaurant. They left the
heart of tho city on a Nuuanu avenue
electric car.
The fact that they wcro on a Nuu
anu car was roportcd to the police by
one who uolicvoti he recognized them,
but tho pollco did not take much stocK
in the report.
Lopez has given his outlawry a ro-
mantle touch by writing a letter to
Sheriff Iaukea, according to his fiiond,
who says he assisted In the compost-
Hon 'if tho epistle. The communica
tion Is to tho effect that Lopez and
Roderlgues are now within tho city,
within three miles of the- postofllce,
and that they purpose remaining here
for a littlo whilo.
They assure tlio Sheriff that ho need
not fear any depredations on their
part among Hawnilans and haolos, but
that If they aro In need of food or
money they will tako It out of tho
Japanese.
They say that they havo several
hundred dollars apleco and cnougn
food stored In their hiding placo to
last several weeks, their friend keep
ing thorn supplied with whatever they
want.
Lopez advises the pollco that ho
will never be captured. Ho states that

and have suffered no HI effects from
their flight from Jail.
